Hi,
is it possible to copy whole DVD (AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS folders) on the HDD and then show this DVD in Movie Library? I created a folder called 'The Godfather', copied AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS from DVD and tried to update the library but nothing happened. The 'The Godfather' is in folder called 'videos' with other divx movies and these are shown in the library.
So for example the directory tree is like this:
/movies
---/Angels.and.Demons (shown in library)
------/angels_and_demons.avi
---/The.Godfather
------ /AUDIO_TS
------ /VIDEO_TS
---------/all the dvd files

no reason to skip anything - that works just fine.

I switched off Library mode, then clicked on the The.Godfather folder -> Scan for new content.
- Is this the only way how to get titles to media library?
- When I set 'Run automated scan' on the root folder for video in hope it will scan it automatically when new movie is added the option appears as enabled but when I close the dialog and open it again the option 'Run automated scan' is disabled again..

it's NOT a toggle option - it's a shortcut to run a scan after the dialog closes.
use 'update library' from the library. context menu

If anyone figures this out can you post the solution here. I've had some problems with a folder containing just a VIDEO_TS folder with the DVD content not showing up in the library. The parent folder seems to be scraped OK because the fanart shows up when it is selected in Files mode, but it is not in the Library.

As spiff already said, no need to skip something or doing other "nasty" things. It works just fine. Set content on dvds and make sure to check the "Use folder names for lookups" option.

Hm, works fine using your posted layout. Something else at your side must be wrong i guess.

technically; the stacking code checks for dir/VIDEO_TS.ifo and dir/VIDEO_TS/VIDEO_TS.ifo and stacks these down to one entry named dir.
dteirney, that is NOT a dvd. a dvd ALWAYS includes VIDEO_TS.ifo - that's what makes it a dvd and not a bunch of .vob files.
